Wiltshire Police are investigating an armed robbery at a bookmakers in Swindon on Tuesday night.
At approximately 7.45pm, officers were called to BetFred in Moredon Road – a man who had been in the store for approximately 90 minutes produced a weapon from his bag.
He demanded the cashier hand over cash and left with approximately £200.
Fortunately, nobody was injured during the incident but it was understandably frightening for those involved.
The suspect is described as wearing a rucksack and trainers. He made off from the scene on a push bike.
Enquiries in relation to this incident are continuing today, and we’d urge anyone with information, including any dash cam footage or CCTV footage from the local area, to get in touch.
Call 101 and quote crime reference number 54200100631.
